Ok, so I forgot to post about the second shoot. Sorry about that. I don’t know how I could have forgotten.
The next shoot was on Monday morning at my clients home. I was a bit nervous as to what the lighting situation would be. Thanks to the lovely rainy weather we’d been having every day, even if the client did have lots of natural light her home, the sun wasn’t reliable enough; so I brought my lights.
The sun hid behind the clouds so I did have to use the lights. I think it worked out well though, because the house was so beautiful and colorful and open that the lights only enhanced the natural light coming in through the big windows. It was a great situation.
I was also nervous because the client has two beautiful daughters, a newborn and a 3 year old. Being that I am the mom of a 3 year old myself, I know how hard it might be to get good pictures. Miss 3 was not about to make it easy on me, but we had so much fun running around outside and playing in her room; I think I was able to capture her personality pretty well. She is such a beauty. Here is one of my favorite shots of her.
I couldn’t decide between the color or the black and white with this one so I’m showing both! 🙂
Look at those gorgeous pouty lips and long eyelashes!! And I soooo love that curly hair! 🙂
Of course, the Little Newbie of the family didn’t disappoint. She was an absolute dream; sleeping almost the entire session! She was so cozy comfy on their couch.
I really enjoyed my time with this family. Miss 3 was just as sweet as can be, and once she warmed up to me we were good buddies. The family dynamic was so sweet too. While Mom and I played with Miss 3 in the back yard, Dad took care of Little Newbie. When we came back in for a much needed drink of water, I managed to capture this image. It didn’t make the final cut because it is so dark and grainy, but I really love the moment and the expressions of Dad and Miss 3 as she gazes upon her baby sister.
And now for the favorites! Here is my fav of Little Newbie – I absolutely LOVE the check-mark catch lights in her eyes.
Would you believe that is was actually my pediatrician that told me that if you want a good picture of a newborn with their eyes open, to put them on mom’s shoulder??!? Well, thank-you-very-much Dr. J.! 🙂
And this is my favorite of Miss 3. When I saw it on my LCD screen it made me gasp. I am still not entirely sure what I like about it, but I can’t stop looking at it. It’s almost as if I caught a glimpse into her sweet soul. The way her eyes are so wide open; the expression on her face, the colors – they all work for me. Anyway, I love it and I hope the parents do too.
And because it works so well in b&w too –
Thanks so much for sharing your time with me P family. I absolutely loved meeting you and appreciate being a part of your world for just a little while.
Thanks for looking,
D 🙂
